If you're considering beginning a martial arts program, I cannot say enough about Nackard Karate…read more We had been looking for a place that taught karate for our 4 year old son. His training began with an introductory assessment to determine if he was mature enough based on reasonable expectations for kids his age. We then had the option for a 3 class trial (including uniform) before committing to a program. In our case, my son enjoyed it and so we enrolled him. Since my son was interested, I also chose to enroll and begin my training. What makes Nackard Karate so special is the caliber of the instructors. They are incredibly patient with the kids but also teach important lessons around focus and following instructions (much needed in this digital age). For adult classes, there are no egos - the instructors are gracious with their time and care very much about instilling proper techniques. I've found it to a rewarding and challenging experience for me and my son. If you and/or your kids have thought about some type of martial arts, definitely take the time to check out Nackard!

From the owner: Building Character For A Lifetime™…read more PRO Martial Arts is about far more than kicking, punching and karate workouts. From kids to adults, from beginners to experts, from karate, to kickboxing and much more - every class at PRO Martial Arts includes a core focus on building confidence, staying safe, and developing character. PRO Martial Arts offers a cohesive blend of the best elements of traditional Korean martial arts. Incorporating elements of Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, the system provides the opportunity to develop a potent blend of strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance, while learning effective and proven self-defense techniques in a fun and energizing environment. But what truly sets PRO Martial Arts apart from the average martial arts school are our inspiring and motivational life skills training programs for students ages 3 to 17. These innovative, exciting, and proprietary programs are the difference between PRO Martial Arts and other schools.

The cost is very reasonable and the pricing structure is designed to get you to attend more classes, rather than get you to pay for more. But most of all, great martial arts learning is about great teachers. I know because I trained for years when I was in high school, in college, and in Asia afterward. Master Kremin is a wonderful teacher who meets each person at their level and pushes them to their potential if they are willing to reach for it.

Master Kremin is simply the best. I find it rare to find an outlet and activity for children that…read moreis truly inclusive and truly diverse, but Amkor Karate Bryn Maw is exactly that. And each training session is itself a true masterclass in confidence, empowerment and self-discipline for kids of all ages. The reason for that is the atmosphere created by Master Kremin: empowering for the individual, and well-supported by the group. Yes, my daughters have learned how to perform a punch, or how to break a board with their foot. But they've learned so much more about how to break down the barriers in other areas of life.

My dad trains here with my daughters and me. There are classes for kids after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:45-6:00 and Saturdays at 11:00. There are also classes for adults MWFSS at 11:00 AM and evenings M-F at 6:15. They train in and study authentic Japanese Shotokan karate. Some classes are for advanced students. They also sell uniforms, belts, gloves. The wooden floor, tin ceiling, mirrors, ceiling fans and knotty pine paneled walls make for a real old school dojo feel.
